Famly Law Attorney

I used Chris on my divorce case. He was instantly available whenever I needed him and always very thorough in his answers to my questions. Qualities so important as you move through such an emotionally trying process. I can't recommend Chris highly enough.

Working with Mr. Stachtiaris

I contacted Mr. Stachtiaris about a settlement agreement I had signed ad wanted to get his input regarding any opportunities for change. He was concise and thoughtful of the time we spend discussing so that my costs would stay reasonable. He is very conscious of the emotional time one is going through and helps strive for a longer term balance as opposed to a quick "win." He not only found a way in which I could make some changes but in addition he counseled me on some strategies. Will continue to engage Mr. Stachtiaris as needed and will recommend to others.
